I would like to have the flaps retract slow enough that one can put the handle "up" and go on about the business of flying without the need to "milk" them up a bit at a time. I plan to call Vern today to price another adjustable valve. I have adjusted the extension speed so the flaps go down slowly, about five seconds from up to down. Once the machine is flying I can make the adjustments so suit. I feel that slow retraction will aid in resetting the pitch trim and eliminate "sag". I'll keep you posted. Walter Dodson IV-P 96%
